Mobility-Lifestyle Design Research Based On Self-driving Technology

In recent years,self-driving has become a hot topic,thanks to technology giants such as Google and Baidu and automobile industry giants such as GM and Toyota have invested heavily in the development of self-driving technology.autonomy,electrification,connectivity,Shared mobility has become an industry consensus in the auto industry that is undergoing drastic changes,and the selfdriving car has detached from the traditional car as a tool and become a veritable “mobile terminal”.Self-driving technology has deeply touched people-related services that have an impact on various industries such as finance,insurance,energy,medical,legal,media,retail,and public services.Through the integration and innovation of product technology,business model and service experience,people's past lifestyles are completely reconstructed.Lifestyle has always been the semantic environment of product or service design.With the in-depth study of lifestyle in design disciplines,lifestyle can be directly used as a design object.There has always been a close relationship between cars and lifestyles.By combing the history of car development and lifestyle changes,it is inferred that self-driving technology can have an impact on users to promote lifestyle transformation and form a new "Mobility lifestyle." Based on this argument,we explore the elements of the Mobility lifestyle in the context of design.Through user research and card classification experiments obtained three core elements of the mobile lifestyle,including Foundation,Activity,Ideas.Foundation include industry,society and individuals,activity include motivation,behavior,and scenarios,and ideas include attitudes and principles.This model is defined as the mobility lifestyle "FAI" model.This research provides theoretical and methodological guidance for the design and research of mobile lifestyles related to self-driving.At the same time,it hopes to provide lifestyle dimension thinking or inspire design opportunities for products,services,and experience design related to self-driving.Finally,I hope it can be helpful in the design and research of other similar lifestyles.
